Horrified: Akshay Kumar condemns terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam

Srinagar, April 22

Actor Akshay Kumar expressed shock and condemned the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday.

Taking to X, he wrote, "Horrified to know of the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. Sheer evil to kill innocent people like this. Prayers for their families. "

The firing incident, which took place earlier on Tuesday, targeted tourists in the Pahalgam area of Anantnag district. Some of the tourists have been confirmed injured and taken to local hospitals. The Jammu and Kashmir government has not issued an official statement on casualties.

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 Tourists just trying to enjoy nature shouldn't have to fear for their lives. Kudos to Akshay Kumar for speaking up - we need more celebs to use their platform for important issues like this.

While I appreciate Akshay's concern, I wish he'd also call for concrete policy changes rather than just prayers. Thoughts and prayers alone won't stop terrorism. The government needs to take stronger action.

Pahalgam is such a peaceful place normally. Can't believe this happened there. My family visited last year and the locals were so welcoming. These terrorists don't represent Kashmir or its people.

The tourism industry in Kashmir was just recovering after years of trouble. Attacks like this set everything back. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. 🙏

Notice how politicians are quick to condemn but slow to actually prevent these attacks? We need better intelligence and security measures, not just statements after the fact.

I was planning a Kashmir trip next month... now I'm reconsidering. It's sad that a few bad elements can ruin things for everyone. Stay strong, Kashmir! ❤️
